{IG Giveaway} Did you know that the ladybug is called 瓢虫 (piáo chóng) in Chinese or that car is Kereta in Malay?

We had so much fun learning from this Press and Learn English-Malay-Chinese Words Sound Book from @bababaa.sg which contains 144 words (each word comes in three languages) covering 9 subjects including zoo animals, farm animals, insects, underwater world, vegetables, fruits, vehicles, things at home and colours and shapes. Swipe to see more.

This book motivates the kids to be multilingual and I'm excited to see them picking up Malay words for the first time ever. It is also a good way for them to learn and reinforce their Chinese - some of these words are new to them , for instance 蝉、芦笋、鼷鹿、渡轮 etc. While the English words might seem easiest for them, I take the opportunity to teach my kindergartener to spell more words and practise his phonics too.

The kids love how interactive and easy to use the book is and the beautiful illustrations make it even more engaging. Our bedtime reading just got more interesting and I can't wait to see what new words they are gonna learn next.

P.S. Yes, we try to include the baby in our reading sessions because it's always good to start young, right?

{Book Giveaway} "A book is a magical thing that lets you travel to far-away places without ever leaving your chair."

Now that we can't go overseas, that does not mean we stop exploring. To us, one of the best ways to learn and see more of the world is through reading. I had the chance to visit Tokyo on my company incentive trip (that was more than 13 years ago before I switched to being a stay-home mum) before the kids came along and up till now, it is still one of my favourite cities and I earnestly hope to bring the family there someday.

Written by our well-loved local author Emily Lim, Marky Polo in Tokyo tells the tale of a pangolin who is travelling overseas for the first time. At the airport, his luggage was taken up by another traveller and in order to retrieve it, he and his cousin had to pass through many famous places in Tokyo.

They include the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Skytree, streets of Harajuku, Shibuya crossing and the Samurai Museum. It is a colourful and interesting way to let the kids learn more about these famous attractions and there are even fun facts about animals native to Japan, for instance the amami rabbit, red-crowned crane and Akita-inu.

The book also lets readers have an Augmented Reality experience simply by downloading an app and scanning the pangolin icon when it appears on the page. We can't wait to see where Marky will go next on his exciting travels!

{Book Giveaway} No matter how busy life gets, we always make time for bedtime reading. Yup, while the sisters can now read on their own or sometimes have no time to because of homework, this boy still likes stories and we make sure we keep up with this good habit. So even if I have to lay the baby down, carry him on my lap or pass him to the girls, we make it a point to read together every night.

It's been a while since we added a new book to our library so we are stoked to receive this from one of our favourite local authors, Emily Lim-Leh. Little Mimic's Superpower is the third book in the series, following Little Godwit Finds his Wings and Little Mole's Awesome Star. It is a story that celebrates uniqueness and encourages us to discover the different special qualities and talents in each of us.

For the younger ones, they are interested to learn more about the mimic octopus, a true master of disguise, and we love how each of the books in this series is inspired by a real animal and actual happenings. Swipe to see more of the colourful illustration and learn more about the characteristics of the mimic octopus.

Even my eldest girl said she likes this story as it celebrates individuality and reminds us that we all have our very own extraordinary strengths and gifts - even if we don't know what they are yet at this point in time. We just need to keep believing, keep exploring and keep learning.

Good news! I am now giving away two copies of this book to you so you can read to and encourage your kid too! To join,

1) Like A Happy Mum.

2) Like and share this post.

3) Tag 3 friends who love to read in your comment.
